error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1 on latest Arch Linux, and fails to boot on X11 plasma

[ericfont]

When I execute the AppImage on my arch linux machine (5.15.55-2-lts), I get:

./Mu_Editor-1.1.1-x86_64.AppImage 
/tmp/.mount_Mu_EdiPjLa4a/usr/bin/python3.8: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

My machine has /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2.0.0 as well as links to it named /usr/lib/libcrypt.so and /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2

Thanks for the report @ericfont. I've moved the issue from the https://github.com/mu-editor/docker-mu-appimage/ issue tracker to the mu-editor/mu, as that's were we are looking into Mu issues.

If you install libxcrypt-compat package do you get the same error?

[ericfont]

After installing libxcrypt-compat, I no longer get the same error, however I now get a segfault:

./Mu_Editor-1.1.1-x86_64.AppImage 
No settings file found at /home/e/.local/share/mu/venv.json; skipping
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

[carlosperate]

Thanks for the quick test! Okay, we are getting one step closer.

Are you using Wayland or X11? Does the X11 seg fault happens when running the appimage with this env variable set?

QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland Mu_Editor-1.1.1-x86_64.AppImage

Or when using the AppImage from this PR build? https://github.com/mu-editor/mu/actions/runs/2699412265

[ericfont]

I was on X11. Here is output when setting the env variable:

QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland ./Mu_Editor-1.1.1-x86_64.AppImage
No settings file found at /home/e/.local/share/mu/venv.json; skipping

here is output from PR build 2699412265 on X11:

FYI, I also have wayland installed on this same computer. Earlier I ran with an X11 plasma desktop. However if I now relogin and start in wayland plasma desktop, both of the Mu-editor app images seem to work (it at least opens at least to the python editor...haven't tested the program further).

[carlosperate]

And if you run this?

QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb ./Mu_Editor-1.1.1-x86_64.AppImage

I assume that'd likely throw the same seg fault at before?

[ericfont]

I get a segfault with =xcb, on both the official AppImage and run 2699412265's AppImage. Both when booted into X11 or wayland.

[carlosperate]

Okay, so it looks like the seg happens on X11, but it works on Wayland (with the env variable, or without it if using the PR AppImage, which sets the flag internally).

We'll need to look into why that might be happening in Arch, as it seems to work fine in X11 in Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04.

Thanks for all the testing!

[carlosperate]

I think maybe you are seeing this issue as well: https://github.com/mu-editor/mu/issues/2318

I've created a test AppImage in CI, and it seems to work for Ubuntu 22.04 with X11. Would you be able to test it to see if it works on your environment as well? It'd be really appreciated.

You'll need to be logged into GitHub to be able to click on the download link from this page: https://github.com/mu-editor/mu/actions/runs/3479069676

[ericfont]

Unfortunately I deleted my arch linux boot and so can't test. Since you say you were able to reproduce this issue in an Ubuntu 22.04 VM configured to run with X11, and that your new build doesn't have that issue on that VM, then I am confident that arch linux X11 is fixed as well.

Hi carlosperate, Your created mu-editor AppImage (Mu_Editor-1.2.0-x86_64.AppImage) runs on Manjaro (Arch based) while the official MuEditor-Linux-1.2.0-x86_64.AppImage does not. Segmentation fault. libxcrypt-compat is installed.
